Anyone running the Titans? How have they been running? Any problems? I did hear some hearsay that they ran cooler than Lyc's on an overhauled 360. Any word on this? TIA

I recently purchased a Cherokee 180 and plan on getting a handheld transceiver. So last night I applied for an individual license. Since I also plan to fly to Canada, do I also need an aircraft license, and since it was a previously registered plane, do I transfer the license?? Any help would be...

I have been toying around with the idea of buying a Colt or a Tri-Pacer (having just foolishly sold my Ercoupe) and ran across an ad for a Colt with a child seat STC. I did a google search, a deja/google group search (on rec.aviation) and looked at the Short wing Piper web site and found nothing...

Hi group I need some basic instruction.... I've been noticing tie down ropes. The knots folks use are all over the map. Is there a basic "best" knot for tying down the bird? We're looking at windy weather here in the NE this weekend. The ropes here on the Vineyard are poly-something. A link to a...

I saw the thread earlier about the Tiger as I was about to type this, but it didn't answer any of my questions, so here goes. I keep seeing the Tiger for sale between $65k and $110k. I always thought these planes were highly desirable. This seems a little cheap compared to other planes the same...

A while ago I posted about an incurable oil leak in my '79 TR-182. Turned out to be rings. Decided to get a top overhaul. Now I am breaking in the new cylinders. On one hand I've been told, in capital letters, "DO NOT BABY THE ENGINE" On the other jand I've been told to maintain CHT of 325-350,...

Can you help me identify an aircraft? It is a small general aviation single-engine, two-seat, tri-gear, high-wing monoplane. The most distinguishing features are that the canopy has a moderate "bubble" shape, and the wings are swept forward about 5 or 10 degrees. The one I saw (in Fort Stockton,...

Hi all, Went to the Nashua, NH (KASH) Aviation Festival today, which was pretty well organized. I'm a Daniel Webster Alum so it was nice to see not only the displays they sponsored but also all the buildings my tuition built. :-) The festival is largely a static display, which is nice because...

I just received the October issue of Popular Mechanics. The cover story is about factory built sport planes. You don't need a license. As usual the article is long on hype and short on specifics. I would love to have a scale down of a P-51 Wow wouldn't that be a kick Wally (I've quit posting...

Thank you for the excellent info on parts availabilty. On a similar topic, are there any maintenance trouble spots on the older Navions? I was told that the hydraulic system is leaky or troublesome. Is this true, how bad a problem is it and are there any other areas of concern?
